The only prospect of dynastic union came in the 16th century, when the King of Scotland, James V, married two French brides in succession. His daughter, Mary I, succeeded him on his death in 1542, whose regent was her mother, Mary of Guise, a French noblewoman. She succeeded in marrying her daughter to the child Dauphin Francis, who thus became King of Scotland; when he succeeded as King of France in 1559, France and Scotland were tentatively united in a kind of personal union. Had Francis survived to have a son with Mary, their child would have become king of both France and Scotland

he would've travelled back in time to keep the whole island francophone, creating a vast french empire to rule by the future himself. only a small village in Gaul would've hold out against his might.

In all fairness, they're in a tough position militarily. Defending France must be a pain in the nuts.

Be it fighting with words or fist; I think it is in celtic DNA (some how roman breeding must have eliminated that from the french gene pool). The only thing history has shown to end inter celtic fighting seems to be an external common enemy. Irish folklore is filled with internal struggles starting with Cú Culainn.
